Top tips to promote healthy childhood eating
- Have
regular family meals. Knowing dinner is served at
approximately the same time every night and that the entire family will be
sitting down together is comforting and enhances appetite. Breakfast is
another great time for a family meal, especially since kids who eat
breakfast tend to do better in school.
- Get
kids involved. Children enjoy helping adults to
shop for groceries, selecting what goes in their lunch box, and preparing
dinner. It's also a chance for you to teach them about the nutritional
values of different foods, and (for older children) how to read food
labels.
- Opt for fresh or frozen
vegetables instead of canned vegetables.
- Cut back on salty snacks as potato chips, nuts, and pretzels.
- Choose low-salt or reduced-sodium products.
